1785 Inn
This semi-casual restaurant and bar offers an extensive Continental dinner menu. Some of their featured menu items include veal chops with mushroom and cabernet sauvignon reduction, and seared sea scallops with leeks and artichokes. The 1785 Inn has been called the "best place to stay or eat in North Conway" by Ski Year Magazine, and the view from the lawn is one of the most-often painted or photographed in the U.S., according to their website. Enjoy a dinner to remember with your family or a romantic evening in the abundantly candle-lit dining room. The wine list is extensive (and won the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" from 1986 through 2009). Try the rack of New Zealand Lamb or apple-wood-smoked rabbit loin for dinner and sink your teeth into chocolate mousse on the half-shell with raspberry sauce for dessert.
